Beth & Matt’s Intimate Doncaster Town Hall Wedding and Relaxed Reception in Hooton Pagnell
Beth and Matt’s intimate micro-wedding at Doncaster Mansion House followed by a relaxed reception at 1903 in Hooton Pagnell. Captured by Yorkshire Wedding Photographer, Laura Wood Photography.
Beth and Matt were married this July in a relaxed and beautifully intimate ceremony at Doncaster’s Mansion House. The ceremony was followed by a reception at 1903 in the pretty village of Hooton Pagnell. Beth and Matt booked my micro-wedding package as they only needed 3 hours of photography to tell the story of their day. I’m so glad to see a rise in the number of people opting to keep things small but still recognising that the story of their day should be documented with meaningful photographs.

Matt arrived in Doncaster ahead of the ceremony and went for drinks with immediate friends and family at a bar close to Mansion House.
The beautiful ceremony room at Doncaster’s Mansion House
We were able to stay in the ceremony room for a little while after the ceremony which meant we had time to create portraits using the history and charm of Doncaster Mansion House.

The details - Beth’s top and skirt are from Etsy and her shoes are by Forever Soles. Doll’s Den provided beautiful, natural hair and makeup.

It was an honour to document Beth and Matt’s intimate wedding. I love small weddings just as much as the big ones and every wedding receives my full care, energy and love no matter its size.

Leonie & Chris’ Micro-wedding at Barnsley Town Hall.
Leonie and Chris’ intimate, micro-wedding at Barnsley Town Hall, Yorkshire.
Leonie and Chris recently hired me to photograph their intimate micro-wedding at Barnsley Town Hall. They needed a wedding photographer who was happy to capture a couple of hours to tell the story of their day - micro-weddings are becoming more and more popular and I firmly believe that every couple should have beautiful photographs to look back on, no matter how big or intimate their day is. I love micro-weddings and elopements and my own wedding was very small and informal. Like Leonie and Chris we only had our closest family members at the ceremony but having beautiful, natural and artistic photographs was still a priority for me. As a photographer, I know how much value photographs hold and every couple I work with has my full energy on their wedding day, whether I’ve been hired for a couple of hours or the entire day.

There’s something about town hall weddings which feels both timeless and rock and roll to me. I’ve worked at Barnsley Town Hall, Sheffield Town Hall, Doncaster Register Office and York Register Office and each location offers plenty of great backdrops for beautiful wedding photographs.

Leonie’s bouquet was made from dried flowers and was arranged by her mum. Leonie’s dress felt both modern and timeless and I loved her short veil!

A short thirty minute walk was long enough to create some beautiful, natural and artistic images to tell the story of their wedding day. I also made sure to capture photographs of their children enjoying the day.
It was an honour to play a part in Leonie and Chris’ wedding day at Barnsley Town Hall. Planning a micro-wedding? I would love to hear from you! You can read more about weddings and contact me here.
